WHY is this such a popular to[ic...you want to play agaisnt bad players rather than good. Ok stupid things happen short term where we lose weird pots but in long run playing against donks is far better.

If you cant beat bad players how are ya gunna beat good ones.

find your level

find your level of play. if your playing s&g try 10 player and ajust your level of play by amount of cash to play, $2 to $5 start. then up. cash games it doesnt matter where you play, or how much youll find a donk on every table..............joker131

re: Poker & What room has the least donks?

Playing players worse than you/fish/donks = high variance in the short run, low variance in the long run, high profits in the long run

Playing w players you are relatively equal to in skill level = low variance in the short and long run, you lose to the rake in the long run

Playing players better than you = low variance in the short and long run, you lose to the rake and the better players in the long run

Hope you're asking which room has the least donks so you can avoid it like the plague.

They're all same. I play on full tilt because of the program interface and the silly avatars, as well as being an established poker site where I can withdraw without a problem. But if you're that desperate, go to DoylesRoom. I deposited 30 dollars, within 1-2 weeks, i got upto $150, using proper bankroll management, and cashed out. It took over a month to cash out and got it through check, which had $10 processing fee. But players are so predictable and play very tight/nit. Lot of doylesroom players are rakeback players and they're very predictable to put them on certain hands. Full Tilt is full of slot machine donkeys who play any two cards. Doylesroom are full of nit donkeys. Honestly, donkeys are everywhere. The hell, I'm a DONKEY MYSELF!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you can really avoid bad play no matter where you go. I see this question posed all the time, and really all that you can do is focus on your own decision making rather than being affected by others' poor decision making.

Just make note of how they play and then take advantage of it in the right spot.

Being called by 2 7 is good - you should really understand this on day one of your poker career to be honest. You need to put more thought into how you play AK as well, I would guess you think it is much more of a favourite over 2 7 than it actually is.

A lot of the main poker sites are the tougher ones: PS, FT, UB, and Absolute Poker have reputations as having less "donks" then some of the casino/sports betting sites -- in proportion, of course. So proportionally, I would go with PS, FT, UB or Absolute Poker if you want fewer donks.

Why would you ask this question? I'd like to play with as MANY donks as possible.

When I get bad beat, I don't even flinch. I just go to the next table.

Plus, 72 is drawing live against AK. AK is a better favorite against something like AJ or AQ. So if you are complaining about being beat by 72 when you have AK, it wasn't a terrible beat.

True true.

Saw the post just had to commenct myself.

Better post would be: Which room has the most donks?

This is where i want to be. As stated above its all about the long runs. You will be ahead and they will be behind.

if u cant beat the players playin 27 while u have AK then u realy need to think about ur game. If u have AK and u c/bet the flop + turn and he keeps on calling. Do u realy think ur ahead? Even by a loose person u need to know how to fold sometimes. AK goin to the river A high isnt realy a profitable game, so fold and look for better spots.
Stop tryin to pick on the room for ur play and decide to bck up, riview ur game and stack the ppl who r calling u with 27! IMO... lmao.

re: Poker & What room has the least donks?

I agree with Pokerloves me. Doyle's Room is a good place to play and is pretty soft at the lower levels. In the limit games, you'll see players call raises with 42s. Just don't get mad when one of them sucks out on you with a hand like that!

I think every site has a lot of donks, and pokerstars and ft have the most donks since they have the biggest player traffic.

I recently started playing at Cake after playing at FTP for a few months and had some trouble adapting because of the higher donk level on Cake.

Steals and checkraising no longer work. Simply wait for a premium hand and let the other player stack off against you with any face card or any 2 suited.

So you'd rather not be a 2-1 favorite when you get your money in PF? Wow.

I think the issue is not knowing who the donks are until you're there for awhile. To answer the Q, I'd have to say Full Tilt - at least for me, and at least at Omaha H/L. Many of the players are quite good. FWIW coming from me.
